Tushar Kapoor To Play A Gujju Bhai In His Next Flick
After keeping mum in Golmaal Returns, Tusshar Kapoor finally speaks up. He
will now be seen as a typical ‘Gujju Bhai’ in Rumi Jaffrey’s Life Partner.
"Yes…I am playing a typical ‘Gujju’ character called Bhavesh in my next film
Life Partner. He comes from a very traditional Gujarati joint family. My
character is based in South Africa and the story revolves around how this guy
comes to India to get hitched via an arranged marriage", says Tusshar
For the first time in his career, Tusshar would be seen sporting a moustache and
playing a married guy. "Yes I get married mid-way through the film. As for the
moustache, Rumi Jaffrey had a certain vision for the character and this is how
he wanted it to be. Manish Malhotra has done my styling in the film", reveals
Tusshar
Life Partner has Tusshar paired opposite Prachi Desai who recently made a
stunning debut in Rock On. Besides the duo, the film also stars Govinda, Fardeen
Khan and Genelia D’Souza in lead roles. Shooting for this film (produced by
Abbas-Mustan and directed by Rumi Jaffrey) is almost complete and the film
should hit screens in the summer of 2009. Source
